Boot problems with K8N Neo FSR

Recently i bought a new MSI K8N Neo FSR mainboard and an Athlon64 3000+
I noticed that a lot of people on this board had problems when booting Windows XP
I had the same problem: Every time i tried to boot Win, it freezed at the Win XP logo.
It seems that the problem is my cordless logitech keyboard.
When i'm using a standard PS/2 keyboard i have no problems booting.
Are there any known problems with nForce3 based mainboards and cordless logitech keyboards?
Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this problem?

There just seems a problem with some mobos and keyboards.
Usually it's a PS2 thing, but looks like you have found another to add to the list.

    hello!
    i have weird problem with my K8N Neo-fsr and Athlon 64 2800+ socket 754, when i try to overclock i change in bios HT from 4 to 3 (for better stability), after restart nothing happen, my pc wont boot, also nothing on screen, so i must clear cmos for solve my problem and set to 4   i try several bioses from official to moded also pinochio`s and syar`s moded and allways the same issue    is it problem with processor? or motherboard?   
    thanx for your help and sorry for my english 

    You should first get down cpu ratio, then get up cpu fsb and as you wanted set ht frequency from 4 to 3 and "save changes and exit" if it doesn't boot change you psu (at least antec 380 or tagan) or go fast to send back your mobo to reseller!! 

  • Boot Problem with K8n Neo 2 Platinum

    I cant get my Computer to load the bios
    Sometimes when I restart my computer it will lock up in the Bios Sign on and the only way to get it to boot through is to keep resetting the computer and turning the power off and on. It does this on a random basis, Ive also had problems with it locking up if the dynamic oc is turned on.
    Has anybody heard of this happening or know how to fix it?

    Corsair memory is known to be troublesome with AMD64. 
    Nevertheless, if everything is set correctly, it'll work.  I've been running the LLPRO 3200 1GB kit at 220MHz without any noticable problems.  Run a couple of rounds with Memtest86+ to verify memory functionality.
    Can you please give your specifications on the power supply unit (PSU), especially the amperage on the +12 volt rail.

  • Boot problems with K8N NEO Platinum(no video). SOLVED

    I have this board for a few months now, but this week, when powering the system, it gave me no video.
    It reads the HD and after a  little while all the lights in the D-Bracket go green. But still no video.
    There are other simptoms that can help the diagnosis: sometimes i do get video, the system powers up perfectly. This happens when I repeatedly press the reset button, or try powering on and off, on and off...
    I don't think it is cold boot problem, since when I successfully turn on the system and then turn it off, the same boot problem occurs I I try turning it on again.
    Another thing is that when I turn it off through Windows, it doesnt actually turn off: the screen ges black, but the HD leds still blink for a looong time. I have to turn it off manually, then. Sometimes it actually turns off, but turn itself on again after 1 second.
    So if the D-Bracket sais its all good, then what is bad?
    My System specs are
    Athlon 64 Venice 3000
    1 Gb Corsair DDR
    Leadtek Geforce 6600GT

    Its solved now. There was a short circuit. The rouded isolators were placed in the upside of the board, and they should have been under the board. I changed it and all the problems are gone.
    Such a little thing... :D
    What is a "rouded isolator" and where is it located.  I would like to see if this will fix my problem.  The same thing is happening to me.
    Thanks

  • Boot-up Problems with K8N Neo

    I've just upgraded my computer with a K8N Neo motherboard, AMD 64 3000+ processor and a nice new Antec case.
    I have a few problems so far.
    1.  95% of the time, when POST gets to "Verifying DMI Pool Data"...the NVIDIA Boot Agent will kick in, i assume because it can't boot from my hdd.  But i can't for the life of me figure out why, the hdd is from my old computer but it's a clean copy of Windows XP on there.  I have disabled SATA in bios.  The other 5% of the time my computer boots up fine.
    2.  POST is very slow, it can take up to 5 minutes just to detect the IDE drives.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, i'm not sure if ive included enough information, so please ask if you need more.
    Thanks!

    hi dave,
    can you give us more details about your spec please,
    Memory, Hard drives (Manf Model Capacity & Pata(ide) or Sata), optical drives, power supply model & max amps on 3.3,5 & 12v rails please.
    this will help us to help you & save unesecary questions.

    but it's a clean copy of Windows XP on there
    youve just created this on the new mobo?
    enter bios -
    Cmos setup check that your drives appear as you expect them.
    Advanced bios options - Hard disk boot order check that the HD with windows on is at the top of the lisi, use pageup/down keys to move it.
    save changes & exit

  • Problem with K8N Neo 4 Platinum

    Hi I am new on this forum.
    I have problem with proper configuration of the BIOS in K8N Neo 4 Platinum. My processor is Athlon 64 3000. It has 1800 clock. My BIOS  makes default 200MHz x 5. It makes 1000 MHz clock. Will it be good if I change at 200 x 9?
    Other thing: I tried to change at 200 x 9 but in Windows (2000) is still 200 x 5 (acc. to Core Cell). When I chanded on 200 x 7,5 all in Windows was ok. Core Cell showed 200 x 7,5. How I may resolve this problem?

    I have my memory in green slots. Does dual channel works in this case?
    - No  Green = Channel A, Purple =Chanel B use Green nearest cpu & adjacent  purple slot.
    Quote
    HT freq.   5x
    That's your HT multiplier as mentioned by Some1ne not the Adjust CPU Ratio which is the CPU multiplier.
    Your CPU is running at the correct speed.
    DDR Clock: 167 MHz s/be 200 - this should chnge when memory is in right slots.
    Change memory over & let's have a look @ those settings then.
    luck
     

  • D-BRacket 2 and keyboard cordless problem with k8n neo platinum

    hi
    i have two problems
    the d-bracket2 doesn't work
    when my game controller is on , it isn't recognized by Win XP
    but the 4 leds are green.
    i tried the two connectors and it's the same thing.
    my logitech cordless keyboard doesn't work in the bios
    i tried with the ps2 but the keyboard didn't work in XP
    i check the bios with an other keyboard and the usb keyboard support is enabled
    can you help me ?
    PS: Sorry for my english

    Hi galette,
    Do you have a k8n neo or neo2 ?
    At least some neo2's have problems with ps/2 keyboards. Their users could circumvent this by using usb keyboards.
    I have a logitech cordless desktop myself and for me it works. Perhaps you can borrow a usb keyboard to test it ?

  • Shutdown problems with K8N Neo

    I'm having problems shutting down Windows XP with my K8N Neo.
    I can reboot without a problem but when I shut down, windows will lock up after exiting the user's session. Then I have to force a power off by holding down the power button.
    It's not a big deal but it's annoying.
    I believe it has something to do with nVidia's IDE drivers but I'm not sure.
    I'm using the latest official nVidia Unified drivers (4.26)
    Also using the 1.42 BIOS.
    Has anyone else experience this or know how to fix it?

    Yeah I experience exactly the same problems. Will shut down OK when no or limited programs have been run, but after using the computer for a while particulaly after browsing the internet, Windows XP shutdown will hang.
    I've read one link about possible solutions  and centre around the ACPI driver set up etc. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=2000.0). My computer is shown as ACPI but I do not have the APM tab in my power options - maybe this is the cause. The other solution is to enable the NT APM/Legacy device but every time I try I get the yellow exclamination mark next to the device (even after rebooting) to show that it has not be intialised properly.

  • Post problem with K8N Neo Platinum

    I am assembling a system for a friend and it hangs according to D-Bracket2 on Processor initialization (Led 1:red, led 2:green, led 3: green led 4: red)
    Specs
    PSU:   Codegen 350W    ( 3,3V   14A
                                           5V     30A
                                           12V    15A  )
    VGA:   Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
    CPU:   AMD Athlon 3000+
    HDD:   Seagate 7200.7  120GB  in   SATA1-port
    DVD:   MSI DR8-A  DVD Burner
    RAM:   M-Tec 512MB  DDR400
    If the problem is the processor it should hang on Power On (all leds red), right?
    There's some damage done to CPU fan connector so the sensor wire from the CPU fan might have no connection to the mobo. How about ESD-damage, can it cause this?
    Another thing I might have done wrong is connecting front panel connectors.
    I am just hoping and praying that the processor is OK and the mobo causes this.

    Thanks to RacerX for answering but the problem wasn't the PSU.
    Mobo caused it and I replaced it.  I think it was the physical damage I mentioned in the first post. I also changed hdd from SATA1-port to SATA3-port but I don't think it matters.
    Now everything works fine so +12V/15 Amps is enough.
    Does the K8N Neo Platinum hang on Processor Init if it doesn't detect CPU Cooler?

  • Display problems with K8N Neo Platinum

    I have XP Professional installed on my Raptor fine, but I am having issues with my Radeon 9800.  I cannot boot XP unless I hit F8 and then select "Enable VGA Mode"
    When I do not enable VGA mode, my monitor goes blank right before the Welcome screen.
    Moving along...now when I boot with "Enable VGA Mode" I cannot change ANY monitor settings.  If I increase the resolution from 640x480/8bit to, let's say, 800x600/32bit, the screen will go blank for a few seconds and then a black screen with a white blinking cursor at the top left corner will show.  After this, my monitor just completely shuts off and I am forced to restart.
    I also had problems with the ATi Control Panel.  The ATi driver package installed fine, so I rebooted but when Windows started, I received an error message saying that ATi Control Panel could not load.
    I'm baffled right now and I really don't know what to do.  Any help is appreciated, thank you guys very much.

    You might want to try and reinstall the video drivers and make sure that you uninstalled the old ones fully with Driver Cleaner.

  • Problems with K8T Neo-FSR (ms-6702) and radeon 9800

    hey
    does anybody have problems or success using an ati radeon 9800 graphics card with this board?
    any special configurations required ?
    seems that other msi neo boards cause problems with this card

    Make sure to use the VIA drivers that came with the board as the newer Hyperions do not work as well and have been known to cause issues.

  • Cool & Quiet Problem with K8N Neo Platinum

    Hi!
    I just formatted my windows xp and encountered weird problem with Cool & Quiet.
    Before the format CQ worked perfectly, but now when I apply minimal power management from the properties Windows freezes.
    I have 1.2.2.2 drivers installed and CQ enabled from BIOS.
    BIOS has been updated to 1.7, 1.9 bugged for me.
    Windows XP SP2 + all hotfixes.

    Quote from: aicjofs on 09-October-05, 02:49:29
    If all he has done is "reformat" windows what would have changed in the BIOS magically?  Still seems like the driver to me...Troubleshoot what has obviously changed since things worked normally.  If he didn't touch the BIOS and only reinstalled Windows the driver is the logical issue.
    Ugh...even in that linked article the guy is saying the HyperTransport is the link between the CPU and Chipset/RAM.  There goes this RAM thing again.  The memory controller communicates with the DRAM controller no Hypertransport about it...
    ok, but where is DRAM controller? in CPU my friend and in Athlon 64 is DRAM controller in CPU so this is HyperTransport - comunication with CPU and memory...no only me has this mention but also another guy and another, so all of us are wrong yout think?

  • Problem booting up with K8N Neo platinum

    Turned my PC off last night fine, come home today and turn it on and it wont boot up, it gets stuck on the post, and i hear (www.freewebs.com/deanaldo/bios.wav, might need to turn ur sound up to hear it) noise from the bios and it repeats itself every 5seconds or so, my bios is Phoenix Award i think, can anyone diagnose this for me?
    My system specs are
    amd64 3400 cpu
    1 gig ram
    x800 XTPE graphics card
    XP Pro(SP2)
    I have tried swapping the memory about but that aint worked, I ahve took out alll unnescary stuff all my PCI cards etc. and still have this problem, I have reset the CMOS, it just gets stuck on the post and wont go into the bios and plays that anooying sound, i found somewhere that says those beeps may be " Timer not operational" a mo/bo problem
    The only thing I havent been able to change is the memory as I have no other sticks to put in
    I just want to know if its a mo/bo problem or memory,is someone able to diagnose this for me and possibly tell me how to fix it, if its possible?

  • Registry/boot problem with K8T Neo mobo (solved)

    I got similar problem: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=40752&sid=
    Though my error message is: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"
    I did NOT have this problem before i enabled the Realtek gigabit ethernet controller in BIOS.. But now when it is enabled everything runs/installs/reboots fine... until i shut down and when i turn power on next day i get that error message.
    So: when Realtek 8169/8110 gigabit ethernet NIC is enabled in BIOS, necessary drivers installed and system shut down, registry get corrupted while shutting down.
    I had AMI BIOS 1.1 when got this first time (after enabling realtek), flashing to 1.2 didn't help.
    I also tried newest realtek 8169/8110 drivers (5.611.1231.2003) instead of original (5.606.811.2003)(they're still in msi neo-fis2r page i see) but it didn't help either.
    So, any suggestions? i believe the integrated realtek causes the problem because it didn't occur before i enabled it from bios->integrated stuff...  or is there any other possible reason?
    oh, msinfo32 says that radeon 9800XT, IEEE1394 controller (firewire in audigy2) and realtek controller share the same IRQ 16.. i removed firewire controller but it didn't help.. could radeon and realtek sharing the same IRQ be the problem?

    Didn't try the external yet, i'll still try something with this.
    :: Do you have a home network setup, or connect straight to modem?
    straight to modem.
    i doubt it is the audigy, it worked before... and i've disabled everything i don't need like onboard audio, onboard 1394.. (never installed 'em)
    i noticed one thing: all people with similar problems are running win2000 SP4, you run XP so it's ok.
    MS knowledge base says "If one or two registry hives consistently become corrupted for no reason, the problem probably occurs at shutdown and is not discovered until you try to load the registry hive at the next restart. In this scenario, the registry hive is written to disk when you shut down the computer, and this process may stop the computer or a component in the computer before the writing is completed." http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822705
    so something (realtek?) is writing to the registry while i shut down the pc.
    i'm gonna disable realtek before shutdown & see if it boots without errors... if it does, i'll just have to disable it *always* before shutdown.... sounds like driver error for me?
